Little Big Town - Only What You Make Of It lyrics

You're like everybody else

Gotta deal with what you're dealt

You choose the story that you tell

Blame the world or blame yourself

Sometimes life comes at you hard

And it's easy to let it drag you down

Yeah, I get it, it's a mess

It's a struggle, it's a test

But can you find a place to rest

In a house of bitterness?

Just 'cause it ain't what you planned

Don't mean it ain't what it oughta be

'Cause it's only what you make of it

Yeah, it's only what you make of it

Yeah, it's only what you make of it

And you make it so hard on yourself

What you do and what you won't

What you will and what you don't

What you take and you give up

What you're risking when you love

Bet you where you're looking from

If you walk or if you run

You take the long way there

'Cause it's only what you make of it

Yeah, it's only what you make of it

Yeah, it's only what you make of it

And you make it so hard on yourself

You go looking for the darker side of anything

You know you're gonna find it

You can hold on to it 'til it takes you under

Or you can let it go, oh, let it go

No, it ain't all your fault

No, it isn't right

It ain't always fair

But it's only what you make of it

Yeah, it's only what you make of it

Yeah, it's only what you make of it

And you make it so hard on yourself

You make it hard

It's only what you make of it

It's only what you make of it

It's only what you make of it

Only what you make of it

Yeah, it's only what you make of it

Only what you make of it

It's only what you make of it

Only what you make of it

It's only what you make of it

Only what you make of it
